Amy

***** We no longer own Amy *****

Amy is one of our Painted Desert ewes, she is registered with the PDSS (Painted Desert Sheep Society) registry. She was born in the spring of 2008. Amy is on the smaller side of our ewes, she does not have the greatest conformation but has fairly good conformation, she is still a nice ewe though. Her udder is very nicely sized and shaped. Her registered name is Little Hills Amy F-1867. Amy is white with fawn and black, and she has a small mane (which is not very common for ewes to have I believe). Amy's dam is Little Hills Frosty BK-4, Frosty is fawn with black points and badger face (Corsican in appearance but with paint background).

Here are a few pictures of her ~

Malibu

***** We no longer own Malibu *****

Malibu is a dairy ewe. She is over 90% East Friesian. Her personality is VERY good, and is pretty sweet . . . .except for when she gets a little pushy:) Malibu has had twins every time she has lambed. Her udder is very nice for a dairy ewe, she is a pretty big girl. Malibu had twin ram lambs in March of 2011 and I milk her by hand with no complications. She gave about 3/4 of a gallon to 1 gallon of milk a day. Malibu is 6 years old and has been wormed about 3 or 4 times in her 6 years of life.
